vacation
Next Monday, we go on vacation.
Well.
It's vacation for my family.
And not my idea o'vacation time.
Vacation to me?
Go somewhere warm & tropical, lay around, sipping something fruity, while mostly reading a good gripping book & to stare at the waves crashing on the beach, while Miguel,the cabana boy, refills my something-fruity anytime it gets to the halfway point in my umbrella-clad glass. And. After a week of this... I'm done.Rejuvinated and ready to face life again.
Vacation to my husband?
Go visit everyone we have ever known who now live in the same state (or the vague vacinity) over a period of 30 days, while living at his parents house.
Yes.
You read that right.
30 days.
This has been a "discussion" we've had for over 18 years.
The military gives 30 days a year for vacation time. Sadly, in my husband's line of work.. he has rarely had much time off for vacation. So. We have a LOT of vacation time to burn up.
Use it or lose it.
I personally would like to take a week here, and maybe 2 weeks there...and then another week somewhere else.
30. Days. at. one. time. Is. Just. TOO. Long. a. vacation.
By the time the 15th day comes, I'm ready to scream. yell. swear.
Even visiting my own family....I cannot stand this long of a vacation...lest you think I favor my own.
Thankfully I have friends that I'd like to see...
and a sister and her family and a brother and his family that I have not seen in probably 4 years.
But 30. Days!?
Alas, I'm in the minority.
And so... I will be gone. for 30 days.
With very very limited computer time...
and
No Miguel.
Nor something fruity.
*sigh*
